About My car

Current Car
GTO T.T.
Current Cars Mods.
Fitted with a Mk4 '99 spec full Mitsubishi bodykit. I have recently rebuilt the engine and replaced a couple of bits in the gearbox.

A new oil cooler, F.M.I.C. slimline fans and new turbo's are already on the car.
The exhaust is one pipe from each turbo leading to twin outlets on each side at the rear, this coupled with a separate air filter for each tub makes for a gorgeous sound.
The management is controlled by a KMS standalone unit.
The front brakes are six pot Rotora with 355mm discs. Tein coilover suspension is fitted all round.
She sits on 19" chrome rims shod with Goodyear Eagle F1's.
There are plenty of chromed bits that have been added since the engine bay phots were taken. I'll upload more phots when i have some at hand.
Much more to do when time permits.

    Hi, thank you. The plenum was polished painfully with a combination of power tools and the hands and wet or dry until it was suitable to put on the buffer. We do those sort of things here in the workshop, although polishing large items like this isn't really what we are set up for.
    We make all the other pipework here in the workshop, in stainless or aluminium.

    Engine bay looks great and spec sounds outstanding. Where did you get the polished manifold from?

    hey Bumpkin,

    you seem to know a bit about this area, wondering if you recommended any good beginner books specifically covering the basics of tuning? I'm currently reading a performance tuning book and got an engine rebuild guide also to get through at somepoint, but not sure what the best ones to be getting are.

    Also, do garages or tuners consider inexperienced people for like part-time work to get experience hands on, or do they only consider those with a course degree?

    Thanks for any help mate, alex.
